Work in progress for an upcoming neuroanatomy project! 
Just a sketch for now... There are probably still a few little anatomy errors, but, rest assured, it's being corrected.
Hope you like it anyway! 
This project combines two aspects of illustration that I particularly enjoy: the anatomical reconstruction of an extinct species, and traditional printing techniques. The main illustration is in lithography, the pictograms in silkscreen and the typography in lead.
Rhamporhynchus Muensteri 
Behind this barbaric name lies a small pterosaur... An adorable physiognomy that I have reconstructed in drawing from existing fossils!
It is neither a bird nor a dinosaur.
No feathers or scales, but a rather special coat of hair called pycnofibres
Membranous wings, supported by the 4th finger, which is particularly long
Rhamporhynchus Muensteri
Derrière ce nom barbare se cache un petit ptérosaure, dont j'ai reconstitué en dessin le physique et l'adorable physionomie à partir des fossiles existants ! Ce n'est ni un oiseau, ni un dinosaure. Ni plumes ni écailles donc, mais un pelage un peu spécial de poils appelés pycnofibres ! Des ailes membraneuses, notamment soutenues par le 4e doigt, particulièrement long
Hello Mastodon! Here's a first project: a series of illustrations for #Tolkien et les sciences, published by Belin 
Classification of dragons, phylogenetic tree of humanoid species in Middle-earth, comparative anatomy of elephants and oliphants... In short, scientific illustrations like no other!

J'ai aussi une fascination pour les #ours ! 
J'essaie de les observer dans la nature 
et je les dessine très très souvent 
!
En vrac quelques dessins/photos d'ours que j'ai pu faire !

Fun fact: While most snakes are incorrectly referred to as poisonous when they are actually venomous, this species is one of the rare cases that is both AND venomous AND poisonous!
